<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NightHawkIX, post: 1204491, member: 31635&quot;]I was rummaging around my grandpa&#039;s stash of old stuff a few months ago and brought home a bunch of old &quot;historical artifacts.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I only got around to cataloging them today, and one of them appears to&nbsp; be an old Chinese coin from the Qing Dynasty. It&#039;s marked with &quot;Kang-xi Tong-Bao&quot; (in Chinese) on one side, who was an was emperor from 1661-1722; I have&nbsp; reason to believe that this coin might be from that era. The other side is marked with Chinese letters that I do not recognize, and do not resemble modern Chinese. How&nbsp; much do you guys think this is worth?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p286/UCFencing/DSC01797.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p286/UCFencing/DSC01796.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>There were also 2 more coins, from the early 20th century when the&nbsp; Nationalists overthrew the Qing Dynasty, and China became the Republic&nbsp; of China (who&#039;s government is now in Taiwan). One is a 10 cent piece,&nbsp; the other is a 20 cent piece. The side with Chinese is marked with something along the lines of, &quot;celebrating a new nation.&quot; Again, how much do you guys figure these&nbsp; to be worth?</p><p><br /></p><p>10 cent piece:</p><p><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p286/UCFencing/DSC01801.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p286/UCFencing/DSC01800.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>20 cent piece:</p><p><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p286/UCFencing/DSC01799.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p286/UCFencing/DSC01798.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
